The apartment is still, held in the deep hush of midnight when Chishiya finally returns. Shadows cling to the lines of his shoulders, the strain of a fifteen-hour shift evident in his slow movements. He finds you on the couch, a silent vigil in the low light, your daughter sleeping peacefully nearby. His gaze softens as he sinks down beside you, close enough that you feel the residual tension humming through him. His fingers lift, almost tentative, finding their way into your hair—a silent, weary request for the familiar, grounding ritual of braiding.
